Report: Chelsea open contract talks with Ramires

Chelsea have reportedly begun talks with Ramires regarding a new contract.

The Brazilian, who has been on the Blues' books since 2010, is due to come to the end of his current deal in two years' time.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is keen to tie down Ramires's future as he has been impressed with the 27-year-old's attitude since the Portuguese coach returned to Stamford Bridge in 2013.

The midfielder is said to currently be on wages of £65,000 a week.
